Greta Garbo

I received two emails from Mark A Vieria, author of Greta Garbo, a Cinematic Legacy. One was a sheet of photos to be downloaded that were scanned from the original negatives that he had left over from his book on Greta Garbo. The second was a similar sheet with the message More To Have Fun With. Below are two photos from the photo session between Clarence Sinclair Bull during the filming of As You Desire Me. Above is how readers of Photoplay Mgazine saw the photo in 1932.

This photograph of Greta Garbo, taken by Clarence Sinclair Bull, was one of those not among the photos sent to me by Mark A. Vieira and was published in Photoplay Magazine during 1932.

This too is a portrait from the Clarence Sinclair Bull session with Greta Garbo during As You Desire Me. Published in Motion Picture Magazine it was not among those photos e-mailed to me by author Mark A Vieira, those of which,again, were scanned from the original negatives.

During 1932, Clarence Sinclair Bull published a portrait of Greta Garbo in Picture Play magazine. It was not one of those included in those sent to me by author Mark A Vieira from those left over from his book Greta Garbo, A Cinematic Legacy.

More properly the headlines should read, "Garbo Talks, Seastrom Returns Home." Victor Seastrom, who had worked in the Swedish theater before pioneering in Swedish Film, returned to Sweden with the advent of the sound film, not to direct, but to act. As in Hollywood, the exterior of the Swedish landscape that had established Sjostrom, Stiller and Molander during the golden age of Swedish Silent Film, had taken the innovation of sound back to the proscenium arc of the interior with Molander managing the transition to dialogue centered films.

While writing about the film Wild Strawberries, director Jorn Donner notes that Ingmar Bergman's film is in part a tribute to Victor Sjostrom the director,"Many scenes have a tie-in with Victor Sjsotrom's work. A smashed watch plays a part in Karin Ingmarsdottar."

Greta Garbo

Vivtor Sjostrom travelled from Sweden to direct Greta Garbo and Lars Hanson in The Divine Woman under the name of Victor Seastrom. The film is considered lost, there being no existing copies of the film other that a fairly recently discovered fragment. Sjostrom's photographer for the film was Oliver Marsh.

Several of the films directed by Victor Sjostrom use artistic experiments in camera technique conducive to conveying symbolic meaning and dramatically charged images, among them being Masks of the Devil, with John Gilbert, and the earlier Kiss of Death, made in Sweden. Victor Sjostrom had begun on stage as an actor in Sweden and appears both on screen as well as from behind the camera. it is an obvious tribute to The Phantom Carriage that Ingmar Bergman includes the actor Victor Sjostrom in a symbolic scene during Wild Strawberries. In his autobiography Images, Ingmar Berman regrets that his workbook to the screenplay to Wild Strawberries had been lost, but he continues to acknowledge the influence of Sjostrom as a director while he moved "spontaneously between different planes-time-space,dream-reality....the hearse that overturns with the coffin bursting open."
